It’s just a hunch, but Paraguay soccer player Jose Pedroso may have some anger management issues. Check out the chokehold he put on referee Marcelo Miranda after receiving a second yellow card during a Chilean second-division match Saturday:

The Associated Press is reporting Pedroso, who resigned from the Rangers after the 3-0 loss to Concepcion on Saturday, received a 27-game ban from the governing body of Chile’s professional league Tuesday.

‘I’m not the least bit sorry,’ Pedroso said after the match. The quote appeared in the Chilean newspaper La Tercera.
